And I love how cute it is that you think GM, Ford, Tesla, etc aren't lobbying for parking minimums.
Also, auto companies have never tried to manipulate a country's government, no they would never.

Because it supports Unicode as variable/class/function names and Unicode includes all the characters humans have ever used, even dead languages (I assume for historians to digitize ancient texts?)
And they're walking in car infrastructure. Some of the most unpleasant, not made for humans places, not to mention dangerous. Compared to walking in what a city should feel like.
Actually you're right. Didn't see that at first.
Do you see the people walking in the top left picture?
That's what access to the public looks like.
More expensive than the building itself below a certain size
Also isn't English the only European language not to call Pineapples some variation of "ananas"?
We call them "dirt beans" in Mandarin which is an improvement I guess?
Counterpoint: HSR is far more energy efficient than air travel, which would otherwise be the preferred option because regular trains are just not fast enough for country as big as China. Even when the electricity is generated from coal, the simple physics of not needing to literally defy gravity significantly reduces the carbon footprint of the trip.
To paraphrase Alan Fisher, electric cars fail to solve the biggest problem with cars: The fact that they're still cars.
Honestly it wouldn't even be that hard to release full translated versions of existing programming languages. Like Python in Punjabi or Kotlin in Chinese or something (both of which already support unicode variable/class/function names). Just have a lookup table to redefine each keyword and standard library name to one in that language, it can literally just be an additional translation layer above the compiler/interpreter that converts the code to the original English version.
It's honestly really surprising that non-English speakers have developed entirely new programming languages in their own language (unfortunately none of which are getting very widespread use even among speakers of that language), but the practice of simply translating a widely used and industry standard English programming language doesn't seem to be much of a thing.
If I ever make my own programming language, I'm probably going to bake multi-language support into the compiler. Just supply it with a lookup table of translated terms and the code in that language.
